Four people have been killed in a head-on collision between two trucks on the R521 between Mokgwadi and Moletjie outside Polokwane in Limpopo.
Transport Department Spokesperson Mike Maringa says the deceased are truck drivers and passengers from both trucks.
The two trucks also burst into flames.
The cause of the collision is being investigated, but unsafe overtaking is being suspected.
12 killed in KZN accident earlier this week
Meanwhile, the Umshwati Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands says it is engaging the provincial government on the possibility of offering support to the 12 families that lost their loved ones in a crash on the R33 in Wartburg this week.
All the 12 people who were killed in the collision between a minibus taxi and a fuel tanker have been identified.
The victims include a pregnant woman whose unborn baby also died.
Municipal spokesperson, Sibusiso Mkhithi, says, “With regards to the accident that happened this week in Umshwathi, almost 12 members of the family have identified their deceased. I think it is only the one remaining assuming it is a foetus that is not yet under our list. With regards to the commitment of the municipality, the council had the meeting to discuss the means of support, but they said they will wait for the MEC office to outline what support are they going to provide.”
